UC Day of Giving 2022

What's Next Starts with You.

We don’t wait to change the world. 

Bearcats are powering new markets and industries, transforming ideas into impact, and improving the way we live, work and learn now. With our signature Bearcat drive, hustle, and grit, we’re pushing the limits of what’s possible. This 24-hour challenge shows the collective change we can make when #BearcatsGive

It’s a remarkable time to be a Bearcat.

This is your day. This is our day. UC Day of Giving.


UC and UC Health employees can give via payroll deduction today.


Help spread the word by checking out our UC Day of Giving Resource Page for virtual backgrounds, social graphics, and more!
